A compact simple supplementary lens barrel that boosts magnification and image scale by 1.6x. The Magni-Max 1.6x supplementary lens unit threads directly onto the nosepiece of the DigimaxT 40 AC520 eyepiece system (and any other 1.25inch eyepiece equipped with a standard filter thread) and increases the magnification by effectively reducing the focal length of the eyepiece by around 60%. In the case of the DigimaxT 40mm that’s a reduction down to 24mm! The Magni-Max gives a magnification power boost of around 1.6x but fully preserves the vignette reducing and camera positioning features of the DigimaxT 40. The Magni-Max has many uses and performs as brilliantly visually as it does photographically. The Magni-Max can be fitted to camera (webcams, video camera etc) nosepieces and delivers the same 60% magnification increase. One of the great benefits of the Magni-Max is that, unlike conventional Barlow lenses, it delivers a powerful magnification boost but only increases the length of the camera or eyepiece nosepiece by 12mm! The Magni-Max supplementary lens system is a twin lens cemented construction and is fully anti-reflection multi-coated. Supplied in a dust and shock proof case.
